(No, a touchdown in football is not a "Landung" in German, "Landung" is the touchdown of an aircraft on a runway).

It's unfair to have a west coast team play a game with such an early kick-off.

The questions are, did you enjoy the game in Germany and do you like American Football ?

The commercials are just horrible. That's why we record games here and watch them later so we can fast forward through the commercials.

I have nothing against commercial heck some of them are funny. It's the interruption in the game-Like there can be up to 4 of them in a quarter.

Before, between and after is ok, but not during. The next World cup in Football will be with several interruption during gameplay.

Other people like American Football as well, Markus. Perhaps too much. When you invite my buddy Dean Winters to your gathering, " mayhem " usually ensues. Strap in folks and please keep your hands in the car at all times throughout the ride.



Touchdown, yeah !!!!













With friends like Dean, who needs enemies ?

We have to Jim. Darwin called it survival of the fittest.

Wait a minute, hold the phone? Jim, you've wandered into our thread. Welcome mate! If my math is correct, you wanted to see some football, with actual scoring, and draws are regarded as shameful.


Here's a pint and your fav crisps, enjoy the party.









So how's cricket going? You guys still have a team? It's been awfully quiet on the cricket front.

I‘ve been following American Football for more than 30 years, and have been a Patriots fan since then (I became a fan after the infamous „Rod Rust“-Season, in which the Patriots went 1-15). A PE teacher introduced me (and my classmates) to the sport, and as I never liked soccer (too boring) I was interested from the start.
I played American Football in a club team (American Football in Germany is played in a league system) for about 10 years and even went into refereeing for a few years, before my work schedule made both things impossible.
I unfortunately couldn‘t get any tickets for the game in Munich, but I‘ve been to three games in London in the past. So yes, I definitely like American Football.

That's awesome that you enjoy American football. I have a terrible addiction to football and Hockey. My physician tells me there in no cure for me or any hope. I never got into Soccer although I know it's enjoyed worldwide including South America.

I watched the Olympics Hockey Tournaments. Of course, Russia and Canada are always well represented along with the Czech Republic and Sweden. The U.S and other countries as well. What surprised me was how well Germany and South Korea played. I wasn't aware that Hockey was a sport they enjoyed or played there. They both played well, especially Germany. The German team was very tenacious. I enjoyed watching the Olympic Hockey Tournaments, especially how the well the Women Hockey players did from all over the world.

For me it's 36 years. Been Da bears fan since 1986-Where they won Super bowl and it was(if I remember correctly)My first NFL match I saw it on Screen sport.
